ATHENS, Alabama – Athens State University art professor Gail Bergeron and students from her sculpture class will hold a Mardi Gras parade with the theme "Alice in Voodooland."

The second annual parade will be at 5 p.m. Tuesday at ASU’s Center for Lifelong Learning at 121 S. Marion Street on the Limestone County Courthouse Square.

“Last year’s event was well received and a lot of fun,” Bergeron said. “For a one-block parade, we make the best of it and I really think that’s what makes it so special.”

The parade route is to travel Marion Street back and forth between Washington and Market Streets in Athens. Athens State revelers will be in costume with sculpted heads. Music for the marchers will be provided by Retrobics.

The parade is open to the public and marching and participating are encouraged. Bergeron said anyone who would like to donate Mardi Gras beads for the Athens event can leave them at the Center for Lifelong Learning prior to the parade.

“I can say without a doubt this will be the best, most fun one-block parade in the world,” she said.
